About San Juan Puerto Nuevo Range Rear Lighthouse
This 21-meter square skeletal tower in San Juan, Puerto Rico, is painted red with a white vertical stripe. Constructed of concrete, it stands 24 meters above sea level and emits a white light showing a single flash every 10 seconds. Located within the city's Parque Central near the interchange of highways 1 and 2, its urban setting contrasts with many coastal lighthouses. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. This range light functions with a front light to establish a safe channel for approaching vessels.
Why it matters: As a rear range light, it is essential for guiding vessels safely through the busy shipping lanes of San Juan Harbor by providing a precise alignment point.
